The Viking Age

For the Minnesota Vikings, the NFL Scouting Combine was the latest step in the pre-NFL Draft cycle as prospects began interviewing for their NFL futures. With so many holes to fill this offseason, the Vikings need to nail the upcoming draft, something that has hindered them the past few years. There were some incredible standouts in athletic testing, while several other first-round hopefuls shined during the on-field drills throughout the week. The most important player was probably Anthony Richardson, an upside-reliant quarterback that most likely performed himself out of Minnesota’s range. Richardson was an intriguing candidate for Minnesota as they search for the future at quarterback, but he likely locked himself into the top 10 and would require quite the trade package to come up and get him next month.
